Gibraltar

The British Crown Colony of Gibraltar is a vast rock measuring 4½ by 1½ kilometres, with its highest point towering 423 metres above the Mediterranean. In Antiquity it constituted one of the legendary ‘Pillars of Hercules’, together with the rock of Abyla, on the North African coast 25 kilometres away. Gibraltar has been a British territory since 1704, and its familiar shops, red post boxes and policemen’s helmets form a strange sight in the south of Spain.

Drive along the coast to Gibraltar for a tour of the rock by minibus. Entrance to St Michael’s Cave, about 300 metres above sea level, is included, and you will also see the famous Barbary Apes, the last wild apes in Europe. You can also shop for bargains in Main Street.

You must bring your passport. There can be delays when crossing the border between Spain and Gibraltar, and bags may be inspected.

Lecrin Valley

The Lecrin Valley is an area of outstanding natural beauty, which has not yet experienced the mass tourism seen along the coastal strip and parts of the Alpujarras.

A number of delightful small towns and villages includes Acequias, Beznar, Tablate and Talara, sometimes known as Lecrin. The valley is home to over 300 species of wild flowers, 66 of which are endemic to this area, and wild animals including boars and mountain goats.

The valley is especially beautiful in springtime, when the almond trees are in blossom and the distant peaks of the Sierra Nevada are still capped with snow.
